Maine Ballot Measure Could Challenge Super PACs and Citizens United
Harvard Law professor and former presidential candidate Larry Lessig is pushing a Maine ballot measure that could lead to the overturning of the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, which allowed super PACs to raise unlimited funds. The case is set for oral arguments before an appeals panel on Wednesday, with the possibility of eventually reaching the U.S. Supreme Court. If successful, Lessig believes this could mark the beginning of the end for super PACs, reshaping campaign finance law in the United States.
